Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 594 Within Ten Feet, the Myriad Manifestations Realm is Invincible
A quarter of an hour later.

As the earth vein dragon marrow inside the jade bucket gradually dried up, Lin Chen did not notice any significant changes in his body. However, from the moment he stepped out of the jade bucket, he clearly felt that his body's perception of the surrounding environment was different.

The moment he emerged from the deep pit, he could feel his body had become stronger, but he couldn't predict exactly how much stronger, because he discovered that his body's perception of the surrounding environment had disappeared.

This is similar to someone practicing boxing in an environment full of resistance and gravity, who can judge changes in their physical strength by the speed and power of their punches.

However, if the environment were without resistance or gravity, it would be impossible to make a judgment.

Lin Chen's previous situation was just like that. He had thought that his physical body had grown too strong, to an absurd degree, which was why he couldn't sense it anymore.

Now it seems that this is not the case. After being baptized by the earth vein dragon marrow, my physical body's perception of the surroundings has returned. Although the pressure that the energy of the whole world can bring to me is almost negligible, at least I can perceive it.

"Young friend Lin, regarding the situation below the pit, our patriarch left an oral instruction that it should not be revealed to outsiders. Although we do not know why our patriarch gave such an instruction, there must be a reason."

Zheng Tianxing's words carried a profound meaning, which Lin Chen understood. This senior was reminding him not to reveal too much about what happened in the deep pit.

"I understand, thank you for the reminder, senior."

Lin Chen nodded. Although he wasn't quite sure what he had obtained from the deep pit, the earliest scene he saw—the man who climbed out of the pit after falling—and the fact that he could fight against a Myriad Manifestations Realm expert with just his physical body, all indicated that the man's origins were extremely extraordinary.

"If you need anything in the future, young friend Lin, please feel free to ask if my Starfall Heavenly Palace can help."

This was Zheng Tianxing's promise to Lin Chen, and also a debt of gratitude owed by the Starfall Palace.

However, Zheng Tianxing's words also revealed a detail: the Starfall Palace owed Lin Chen a debt of gratitude, not the Canglan Sect, a difference that Lin Chen had also noticed.

……

As the six-colored seal dissipated, Lin Chen emerged from the deep pit and immediately saw Teng Wangshan and the others with piercing eyes.

"Where is the Supreme Elder?"

Seeing that only Lin Chen was there and not their own Supreme Elder, Hao Lianchunfeng and the others looked puzzled. Had the Supreme Elder gone down into the deep pit?
However, the doubt in their eyes quickly disappeared because the Supreme Elder's voice transmission arrived.

"From this day forward, Lin Chen will be the benefactor of my Starfall Heavenly Palace. Whatever Lin Chen asks for, my Starfall Heavenly Palace will agree to. However, this matter must not be publicized. You only need to know this."

"I'll understand later!"

Hao Lianchunfeng and the others quickly agreed, not particularly shocked. They assumed that the Supreme Elders' instructions meant that Lin Chen had retrieved the cultivation technique left by the sect's founder and handed it over to the Supreme Elders.

Following Zheng Tianxing's instructions, Hao Lianchunfeng and the others treated Lin Chen very warmly, and specially invited Lin Chen to sit in the palace. It wasn't until an hour later that Lin Chen and Teng Wangshan got up to say goodbye and left the Starfall Palace.

"Lin Chen, on the fifth day you were in the deep pit, the Grand Elder sent a message that your next destination is the Creation Sect."

"The Gate of Creation?"

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised, not expecting the Grand Elder to arrange for him to go to the Creation Sect.

"It wasn't arranged by the Grand Elder, but rather your Canglan Sect reached a deal with the Creation Sect, allowing you to go to the Creation Sect to study the Creation Jade Tablet."

The Jade Tablet of Creation!

The most treasured artifact of the Creation Sect!

Lin Chen's pupils shrank suddenly. He thought of what Liang Fu had said when he came to the Starfall Palace. He was able to come to the Starfall Palace because the sect had paid a price that the Starfall Palace could not refuse.

What about the Gate of Creation?

Is that also the case?
"Don't think too much. What you need to do now is to live up to every opportunity that the Canglan Sect has arranged for you."

Seeing Lin Chen's silence, Teng Wangshan knew what Lin Chen was thinking. He stepped forward and patted Lin Chen's shoulder to comfort him. However, as soon as his hand landed on Lin Chen, his expression changed.

The moment his palm touched Lin Chen's shoulder, he felt a shocking force, so powerful that it made his hand ache.

You must know that he is a sixth-level Innate Realm expert, and even at the late stage of the sixth level. Even if he does not follow the path of body tempering, with the vast innate power within his body, the physical body of a so-called body tempering martial artist is no different from tofu in his eyes.

Except for Lin Chen!

Teng Wangshan knew Lin Chen's physical strength, but in his opinion, it was only enough to barely withstand a few attacks from a sixth-level innate realm expert.

But now, it's making my tiger's mouth hurt. Although I didn't deliberately mobilize my innate power, for a martial artist at the sixth level of the innate realm, the innate power doesn't need to be mobilized; it's already contained in every part of the body, and it will automatically activate if something goes wrong.

This is why innate martial artists look down on those below the innate level who are considered entry-level martial artists.

Because the protective aura of a martial artist with innate innate qualities is spread throughout their entire body, it will be activated on its own when they encounter danger, making it impossible for martial artists below the innate level to launch a sneak attack.

If even a martial artist at the first level of the Innate Realm is like this, then what about those at the sixth level of the Innate Realm?

After a moment of surprise, Teng Wangshan asked, "Lin Chen, did you have a great harvest in that deep pit this time?"

Facing Teng Wangshan, Lin Chen did not hide anything: "Yes, my physical strength should be able to withstand the attack of a sixth-level innate realm expert."

Lin Chen modestly said that he could only withstand the attack of a sixth-level innate martial artist, but Teng Wangshan was no ordinary person and naturally understood the subtext in Lin Chen's words.

This means that Lin Chenguang, based on his physical strength alone, is able to contend with a sixth-level Innate Realm expert.

This is impossible!

Teng Wangshan looked skeptical. He had never heard of anyone being able to compare with a sixth-level innate martial artist based solely on physical strength.

The physical strength of those body-tempering experts in the history of the Yan Dynasty also included their innate power and other energies.

The so-called physical strength refers to a special body tempering technique.

But obviously, if Lin Chen were in this situation, he wouldn't say that.

Teng Wangshan stopped and looked around. He and Lin Chen were currently above a mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles. Apart from the presence of some demonic beasts, there were no other auras.

"I would like to have a friendly exchange with you."

When Lin Chen saw Teng Wangshan stop and heard what he said, he knew that Elder Teng did not believe what he had said.

Indeed, before entering the deep pit and witnessing that the man could contend with a Myriad Manifestations Realm expert with his physical body alone, even he himself would not have believed that any martial artist could cultivate their physical strength to such an extent.

My current physical strength is only a drop in the ocean compared to that person's.

"Alright, then please show mercy, Elder Teng."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't make you unable to walk."

Teng Wangshan burst into laughter. In his opinion, Lin Chen must have encountered some great opportunity in this deep pit and was unsure of his own strength, which was why he said those words earlier.

This is easy to understand. Generally, after a disciple like Lin Chen breaks through, various forces will arrange for someone of the same level to fight against him, so that he can have a comprehensive understanding of his strength.

However, Lin Chen's situation is somewhat complicated. At such a young age, he has already reached the fifth level of the Innate Realm. Martial artists of the same age are no match for him at all. The only ones who can fight him are some elders, but even elders are usually too proud to make a move.

Winning is fine, but I'm afraid of losing.

In Lin Chen's case, the best solution would be for his master to provide combat guidance. However, given the current situation of the Canglan Sect, Teng Wangshan knew that Lin Chen's master was out of time, and with Lin Chen's current strength, he had probably already surpassed his master.

Above the mountains.

Teng Wangshan's white beard fluttered, but his eyes no longer held any trace of the kindness of an elder; instead, they were filled with murderous intent. The aura of a sixth-level innate realm expert caused the surrounding clouds to disperse instantly.

Lin Chen, standing opposite, had a tall and imposing figure, his aura so deep that it seemed to merge with the continuous mountain range beneath his feet. There was no powerful aura emanating from him, but he possessed a profound and unsettling presence.

Even when facing the aura of a late-stage Innate Realm expert, he was not afraid at all.

"No wonder he's so confident."

Seeing that Lin Chen was completely unaffected by him, Teng Wangshan's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction, but he wasn't too surprised. Even though Lin Chen hadn't fully fought against a sixth-level Innate Realm expert and therefore underestimated the strength of a sixth-level Innate Realm expert, making a wrong judgment about himself, he had still had some contact with sixth-level Innate Realm experts and could still make a general judgment.

"Lin Chen, watch out!"

Teng Wangshan gave a low shout and made the first move. Logically speaking, as the elder, Lin Chen should have made the first move, but this time it was a test of Lin Chen's physical strength, so naturally he would make the first move.

He did not use any weapons, but simply pointed his fingers like a sword from afar.

laugh!laugh!laugh!
A green light flickered in the air as dozens of dark green energies, condensed from pure innate power, suddenly burst forth, carrying a cold, azure light, and shot towards Lin Chen.

This was a test, but Teng Wangshan still used 30% of his strength.

Lin Chen remained calm and didn't even move a step.

Faced with this terrifying green expanse, I just stood there.

boom!boom!boom!boom!
The green light landed on his arms and legs, producing a dull, drum-like sound. However, the scene that Teng Wangshan had anticipated—Lin Chen frowning or retreating—did not occur.

When these green rays landed on Lin Chen, it was as if he had crashed into a mountain forged from millennia-old black iron.

Lin Chen also felt the power of the green light falling on his body, but then his expression became strange. The green light shot out by Elder Teng felt like a breeze was blowing on his arms and legs, with only a slight tingling sensation.

Is this the power of an attack from a sixth-level Innate Realm expert?
Teng Wangshan's pupils shrank suddenly. He had also seen Lin Chen's strange expression and knew what Lin Chen was thinking in the blink of an eye. He was so angry that he laughed.

It seems that Lin Chen's physical body is indeed very strong, and there is no need for me to test him or show him any mercy.

"Lin Chen, I now have a good understanding of your physical strength. Be careful this time."

"Green Vine Bind!"

Teng Wangshan raised his right hand, and green light shot out from his palm. This time, the green light transformed into dark green vines as tough as refined steel.

These vines burst forth from the air, winding and shooting like serpents, instantly wrapping around Lin Chen's limbs and torso. The tips of the vines gleamed with a cold, bluish light, carrying a sharpness capable of piercing metal and stone.

Lin Chen did not dodge, letting the vines wrap around his arms, waist, legs, and even bind him up like a rice dumpling.

At the same time, Lin Chen also felt that these vines were not only constantly binding and tightening around him, but also exuding a powerful pressure, like hammers striking his body.

However, to him, the force of this knocking was no different from "a little fist punching your chest".

"senior?"

Lin Chen's voice was filled with confusion: "There's no need for you to keep testing me."

Teng Wangshan was stunned by Lin Chen's words. Was he testing the waters?

He had just used his full strength. Any other martial artist, even one at the same sixth level of the Innate Realm, would have suffered a great loss if faced with his attack.

These green vines can imprison the soul and innate power, and then, like a python coiling around its prey, they will continuously contract until the prey suffocates. His vines are the same.

Anyone bound by these vines will be severely injured, if not killed.

Before Teng Wangshan could respond, Lin Chen's body trembled, and the tough vines that were wrapped around him instantly twisted and deformed, breaking off one by one on the ground in the blink of an eye. Without the vines, Lin Chen's body was exposed, and not even a trace could be left on his skin.

Teng Wangshan was stunned, and could hardly believe what he was seeing. His attack, which he had given no reservations for, had been so easily dismantled by Lin Chen.

This...this is like a child holding a rope and tying an adult up. It looks like the child is binding the adult tightly, but to the adult, the child's so-called tight binding is just self-deception. The rope can be broken at any time if needed.

"Ahem, indeed it is quite good. In that case, I will show no mercy."

Seeing Lin Chen's longing eyes, Teng Wangshan ultimately didn't tell the truth. As a dignified expert at the sixth level of the Innate Realm and an elder of the Flower Clan, he also had his pride.

"Azure Spirit - Bind the Sea!"

Teng Wangshan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Shocked, he was filled with intense fighting spirit. He formed a hand seal in front of his chest, and the vast innate power within his body suddenly erupted!

If the previous tests were merely to assess Lin Chen's physical strength, this moment was a battle for his own pride.

Boom!

The wood-related energy between heaven and earth converged wildly.

In an instant, thousands of deep blue vines, ten times thicker than before, burst forth from the mountains below, blotting out the sky!
These vines are not simply formed from innate power; each vine exudes an ancient, resilient, and ever-renewing aura.

This is the talent of the Flower Clan, and it is also his own talent.

The deep green vines surged and rolled like a raging sea, instantly engulfing Lin Chen completely!

Thousands of vines intertwined and overlapped, forming a huge vine ball with a diameter of tens of feet, gleaming with a blue light and radiating a suffocating sealing and strangling power.

The space itself seemed to be distorted and deformed by this terrifying force, and the ancient trees of the mountains below fell and shattered under this pressure.

However, Lin Chen, who was at the center of the storm, simply floated quietly.

The faint bronze sheen on his skin, under the immense pressure of the vines, did not dim but instead revealed a deeper, richer dark gold color.

For the first time, Lin Chen had a serious expression on his face. As expected of Elder Teng, these vines brought him tremendous pressure and a sense of crisis.

"Lin Chen, if you can't handle it, don't try to be brave. Speak up immediately."

Outside the rattan ball, Fujii Wakayama's voice could be heard.

"This junior does indeed feel the pressure. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll be completely strangled into mincemeat by these vines."

Lin Chen didn't hide his current situation, and upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Teng Wangshan smiled: "After all, I am a sixth-level Innate Realm expert, and I have even used my racial talent, you..."

However, before Prince Teng could finish speaking, his expression froze.

"open!"

From within the rattan ball came Lin Chen's furious shout. The next moment, the rattan ball in front of him seemed to have been detonated by millions of pounds of explosives, or as if it had been opened up from the inside by a giant who had created the world!

There are no fancy techniques, no bursts of energy, just pure power! Absolute, pure, and brute force that is terrifyingly unreasonable physical power!
The vines, as sturdy as divine iron, were as fragile as rotten wood and withered branches in the face of that terrifying force!
Thousands of broken vines shot out in all directions like a meteor shower, piercing and flattening the surrounding mountains, creating a continuous series of explosive roars.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and gravel rained down, leaving the scene in complete disarray.

The smoke has cleared!

Lin Chen's figure was clearly revealed. The dark golden luster around him slowly receded, returning to its bronze texture. The only thing that was not intact was that his clothes had many tears, barely covering his vital parts.

Lin Chen's aura was as steady as a mountain, but his expression was somewhat embarrassed. He cupped his fists towards Teng Wangshan and said, "Elder Teng, if I passively defend, I'm afraid I'm no match for these vines. I can only switch from defense to offense."

Teng Wangshan's mouth dropped open. He thought that Lin Chen's earlier statement about feeling "pressure" meant he couldn't bear it anymore, but he didn't expect it to be something like "unable to bear it."

Testing physical strength, of course, means you can retaliate.

Teng Wangshan stared blankly at the ravaged mountain range, then looked at Lin Chen, who was calm and collected, with an extremely complicated expression. After a long while, he couldn't help but say, "Now I believe you. The sixth level of the Innate Realm really can't do anything to you."

Even with his full strength, he couldn't break through Lin Chen's defenses. In terms of physical strength, Lin Chen could completely overpower a sixth-level innate martial artist.

Now he was curious about what kind of opportunity lay beneath the Starfall Palace that could allow Lin Chen's physical body to reach such a terrifying level.

The only way to deal with Lin Chen is through divine soul...

wrong……

Teng Wangshan also knew some things about Lin Chen. Perhaps his own soul was stronger than Lin Chen's, but if Lin Chen used his terrifying martial soul... his divine sense would be useless against him within ten feet.

Not only will they be unable to do anything to him, they'll probably get completely destroyed by Lin Chen.

"Within ten zhang, you should be invincible below the Myriad Manifestations Realm."

Teng Wangshan looked very serious and gave his final judgment.
